Abstract
A clinical case of surgical treatment of an infiltrative form of endometriosis involving the ureters, rectum, and vaginal wall germination using laparoscopic access is presented. The difficulties of diagnosing this pathology, the possibilities of endovideosurgery in the radical treatment of endometrioid infiltrate in the presence of an equipped operating room and a trained surgical team are shown.
Keywords: retrocervical endometriosis, laparoscopy.
